An enantioselective Michael addition of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls to 2-enoylpyridine N-oxides catalyzed by a chiral pybox-diph-Zn(II) complex has been developed. The corresponding Michael adducts have been obtained in high yields with up to >99% ee. The Michael adduct has been transformed to biologically active 2,4-disubstituted hexahydroquinoline. A plausible transition-state model has been proposed to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reaction.

Background & Aims: Hepatitis B reactivation (HBVr) can occur due to a variety of immune-modulating exposures, including multiple drug classes and disease states. Antiviral prophylaxis can be effective in mitigating the risk of HBVr. In select cases, clinical monitoring without antiviral prophylaxis is sufficient for managing the risk of HBVr.

The problem of antibiotic abuse and drug resistance is becoming increasingly serious. In recent years, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles have been recognized as a potential antimicrobial material for photothermal therapy (PTT) due to their excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and unique antimicrobial ability. PDA is capable of rapidly converting light energy into heat energy under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation to kill bacteria efficiently.
